From Models Without Makeup to Oxymoron Fashion Ads

Since models start working in the industry at a young age, they usually hit their peak in their early twenties and slowly fade into obscurity, but this gallery of Amber Valletta editorials demonstrates why this is one supermodel with unbelievable staying power.

Ms. Valletta's career has stood the test of time and she seems to only be getting better with age. The now 37-year-old American beauty started modeling when she was only 15. At age 16, she was signed as the face of Calvin Klein's infamous fragrance, Eternity.

Amber Valletta has appeared in campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Versace, Elizabeth Arden, Prada, Calvin Klein, and Fendi. More recently, she has tried her hand at acting, and unlike most models-turned-actresses, has actually done very well.
